Last week, the Duolingo senior leadership team gathered for our annual offsite retreat. As always, the conversations were inspiring, and there were lots of laughs! We take our mission to democratize education seriously, but we certainly don’t take ourselves too seriously—and that balance is part of what makes this team so special. I’m blown away by what we’ve achieved as a company, both with our learning app and with the Duolingo English Test. But what excites me even more is what’s on the horizon in 2025. There’s a lot more to come for learners and test takers around the world, and I’m lucky to be working alongside such an amazing group of humans to make it happen. Grateful for the work, and even more for the people. 💚
